The Incredible Gate

Lifting her shirt Xian Chen was shocked, Yu Bin was seriously injured, and a deep wound was in her chest.

"What happened, my wounds are healed, but why aren't hers? What happened while I was unconscious?" Xian Chen wandered panickedly then stood in front of her and holding her hands, he began to transfer her spiritual energy. Not long after, her wounds were healed and Yu Bin woke up in Xian Chen's arms.

"A-Xian…"

"AI-Ren...you wake up....you worried me so much" Xian Chen said, stroking her hair and smiling tenderly.

"Are you ok ... how do you feel A-Xian?"

"I am ok because of you ... what would I have done without you? If it hadn't been for you, the wounds of my heart would be intact, they would never have healed, if it hadn't been for you, I wouldn't have known love and I would have lived forever in the dark. If it hadn't been for you, we would have died today..." Xian Chen said looking straight into her eyes and tears started to flow from her eyes the moment she heard what he said .

"If it hadn't been me, you wouldn't be hurt, if it hadn't been me you would have lived quietly in the water realm."

"stop talking nonsense... Yu Bin , baby, I love you , I love you so much that if you ask for my soul then I'll just give it to you..." Xian Chen said but he got interrupted by Yu Bin, who became terribly angry upon hearing the words that came out of Xian Chen's mouth.

"Who asked you to give me your soul? Stop talking nonsense ... Why do I need your soul? what to do with it ... Xian Chen ... I need you all, soul and body."

"ok, ok don't get angry, I don't want you to open your wounds again. I'm not as good as you at healing so I don't know how well I did it."

"Hm... then, stop talking nonsense," Yu Bin answered, pouting.

"Cute...so how are we going out of here?"

"We can't go out, Ming Fang blocked the path."

"Oh, Ming Fang was here? Ah, now I understand how you were injured. I thought you were injured in the battle with fierce corpses."

"Mmm..." Yu Bin mumbled looking down.

"Thank you..."

"Thank you for what?" Yu Bin said, raising her head up . Xian Chen thanking her was unexpected .

"For saving me..." Xian Chen said with a tender smile.

Hearing the words 'because you saved me' Yu Bin instantly became sad. Xian Chen was thanking her for saving him but she was the cause of his injuries. If she had made the difference between an illusion and reality then Xian Chen would not have been injured and they would not have had to hide in the cave and the meeting with Ming Fang would no longer be possible. In a word, if she wasn't so stupid, Xian Chen wouldn't be hurt.

"Yu Bin..." Xian Chen said seeing that she was lost in thought.

He knew very well why Yu Bin became sad all of a sudden, but he was really grateful that she saved him. He never blamed her for what happened, on the contrary, the fact that he saw her decide to save him, even if it wasn't really him, made him love her more.

"yes?..."

"Please don't overthink, I am really grateful to you. Even if that person was not the real me, I saw the pain in your eyes, I saw your love for me so I'm really grateful for your love" Xian Chen said, grabbing one of her hands and caressing her cheek.

"Mmm, thank you too," Yu Bin said, smiling shyly. It was still hurting and she knew it was her fault but Xian Chen's words were so shutting.

"Cute... Anyway, we need to find a way to go out, this is a cave so there should be another access way." Xian Chen said and holding her hand tightly he started to walk in the opposite direction.

"A-Xian, are you sure there is another way out?"

"All caves have more than one exit, so this one should have one too"

"Ming Fang said something about it being her territory... and if she knew that it wasn't the only way out why would she block it"

"Well... there are two possibilities. One, there is no other exit, and two, the danger that awaits us in the direction of the second exit is extremely great. Knowing that option one is impossible, we stay with option two, meaning that we are in imminent danger. So what do you choose Yu Bin? Do we stay put and wait for the master to save us or do we try to get out? Whatever decision you make, I will be with you."

"I don't know how long it will take for the master to find us, so it would be best if we try to get out..."

"Good choice, and don't worry, I'll be right by your side every step of the way," Xian Chen said, smiling assuringly.

The decision being made, Xian Chen took it by the hand and started looking for the second exit.

"A-Xian?"

"Yes...Did something happen baby? Are you okay?" Xian Chen asked, turning around worried. Yu Bin's voice was not sounding good and the last time she was sounding like that she almost died.

" Ah… Nothing happened, I just wanted to let you know that I'm by your side too. I will protect you no matter what."

"I know," Xian Chen said, smiling tenderly.

"Ah, look …. there is light…" Yu Bin shouted happily and pulled Xian Chen after her, however, arriving at the spot, the two realized that the light was coming from the cave walls, which were filled on both sides with red and white crystals that shone incredibly, and in the middle of them was an extremely large gate.

No matter how much they tried to open it, the two understood that the door cannot be opened by force and most likely has an opening mechanism.

"I really wonder…. is it Ming Fang the one creating this? " Yu Bin asked, looking at the incredible gate standing in front of them.

"I don't think so… think about this … the place looks heavenly. Thousands of years ago there was a time when I came with my parents to earth. They liked to travel and discover new things and especially loved to research the history of humans and what is the best way to research if not to walk among them. Once they took me, and together with a team of explorers, they entered a cave. At first, I wondered what my parents could find about humans in a cave like that to make them so happy. That day I learned about the history of humans in a tomb. It seems that people liked to bury their kings or great fighters in caves, in places created by them, they wrote on the cave wall about their history in detail and created a lot of traps. The more dangerous the traps were, the closer we got to the desired point. What was more interesting was that their tomb was looking like a castle, with big gates and hard to enter, just that it was an underground castle."
